Riding around Chengdu in a car (!) with our gracious and lovely host ShanShan. In the video we pass by the main square – Tianfu.

Checking out the campus of Science and Technology University in Wuhan China. Only something like 60,000 people live on campus. There are 38 (!) canteens.
We take the norry, aka Cambodian train! A bamboo raft, set on the original network built by the French, and powered by a motorcycle engine. Locals still take it short distances — I think we caught a bunch of school kids going home. If nothing else, it is very scenic and very fun.
A recap of day 3 in Mandalay and a view of the city from out guesthouse rooftop.
Marooned on a desert island in the Gulf of Island…almost. Rabbit Island is a neat little getaway, only 30 minutes by boat from Kep. There are plenty of huts to rent for a few days. No wifi on the island, which makes for lots of reading, writing, and reflecting time.
Boating around Lake Inle, checking out the floating gardens with our guide. A very nice way to spend 8 hours.
We made an impromptu long weekend trip to Kentucky last week, and despite my complaints of how travel is exhausting – we had a blast.
